Birds of Killingworth Framed!!

Hi, the other day I re-framed "Birds of Killingworth" after a long long time.
Actually I've done framing this sampler about two years ago, but I've done it by myself, I couldn't frame nicely and haven't been satisfied with it at all, so I've never taken photos of this.

2年少し前に完成していた、"Birds of Killingworth"。
実際はすぐにフレームをオーダーして額装していたのですが、余り上手く出来ていなかった為、写真も撮らずに今日まできました。
先日その事をふと思い出し、珍しいことに裏の糸を解いてまで額装をやり直しました。





This time I've done by myself again, but better than before, I think!
This one is quite big as I've stitched on 32ct linen, so it was hard to frame, so please don't look intently at these pictures! :)
And also, I should have put the hydrangea in nice plant! :(

今回も自分で額装したので、やはり上手くいかず納得は出来ていないけれど、以前よりはましかなぁ・・・と思います。
32ctリネンに刺したので見応えはあるのですが、やはり大きな物を額に入れるのは難しいです。しかも、デザインに枠がある物は特に・・・


歪みが見られるし、もし額装をしてくれる所を近くで見つけられたら、この作品だけは頼んでみたいなぁ、と思っています。
それより、大好きな紫陽花、可愛いプランターを買ってあったのにこんな鉢のまま写真を撮ってしまった('◇')ゞ


Ahh, I can see warps a lot... shame!
If I will be able to find the framer, I would ask re-frame nicely for this one!


This photo shows what sort of frame I've chosen!
I like it, but sometimes think should I've chosen more bold frame for this design???
If I could find the other stitched thing to put in this frame, I would swap with this and will choose bold frame for this! What do you think??

額はこんな感じです。
作品を入れて見たら、もっと太い棹の額の方が良かったのかなぁ?と・・・
玄関に飾っているのですが、余りインパクトがないのです。
もし、違う作品でこの額に合う物が出来たら、交換して太い棹のフレームを買ってみようかなぁ。


This is a photo with my favorite hydrangea, this one is called "fall color".
The other day my mum found this at the flower shop near her office, and told me if I want to see once to buy or not, she said she thought I might like this kind of color.
Yes, mum, I love it! I decided to get this and she kindly presented me, but she is still not sure how I can call this as lovely thing!
Mum says she knows what I like, but in her opinion this looks like dead flower. lol
Yesterday, when I went out to my tiny garden to dry other hydrangea, I found that she cut all these "fall color hydrangea" and hanged them on the pole to let them be dried flower... mum...

私のお気に入りの花の一つが紫陽花なのですが、母が”秋色あじさい”というのを職場の近くのお花屋さんで見つけてきました。
私が好きそうだから・・・と連れて行ってくれて一目ぼれ。ラッキーなことに母がこの”秋色あじさい”と白い可愛い鉢をプレゼントしてくれました。
でも、母は余り納得いかず・・・私の好みだとは分かっているけれど、「これが可愛い!」というのがどうも理解できない、とのこと。
連れて行って買ってくれた割に、「もう枯れた花みたいじゃない??」と散々(笑)
確かにシーズン終わりかけでちょっと枯れた部分もあったけど、昨日違う紫陽花をドライにしようと庭に出たら、”秋色あじさい”が見事に全部切られ、ドライにする為に吊るしてありました(笑)
早い。。。
ドライになった暁には、作品の写真のお供にしようと思います。

Thanks for stopping by, and thanks for your comment!
I always appreciate for them all.

Take care and have a lovely weekend!
Bye for now,

Oh I think this is a lovely frame for this piece. That is funny about the hydrangea and your mother.

Hi Yuko! I think your sampler looks very pretty in the frame. This is a lovely sampler!

Your hydrangea is pretty and interesting. I love hydrangeas, but I have never seen one like the one you have. I have only seen them in pink or blue.
